'From 28 October to 1 November, FSSC’s Technical Director, Elsabe Matthee, and Manager of Quality & Safety, Kelly Mulholland, attended ISO meetings in Lima, Peru. The gathering brought together experts from around the world to work on essential updates to the ISO PRP standards and initiate the review of ISO 22000—crucial standards that underpin Food Safety Management Systems across industries.'

This document will be supported by sector-specific parts (Parts 1-7). One of the most notable additions is Part 7, which introduces new standards for the Retail and Wholesale sector. ISO anticipates publishing the complete ISO 22002 series by April or May of 2025, although the transition timeline for organizations to adopt these changes is yet to be determined.'

More info from ISO on PRP Development:
ISO 22002-100 are the common PRP’s from the prior sector specific series ISO 22002-1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7 merged here to being a unified understanding of PRP’s across sectors and simplify PRP’s for organizations operating in multiple sectors. Where unique sector specific PRP’s remain, or new sector may be added with unique PRP’s, these are provided in short separate specific ISO standards to be used in conjunction with ISO 22002-100.

Hello, I didn't want to start a new thread since this one already exists but please let me know if I should make a new thread. First time poster on IFSQN.
I just got an email from ISO stating there was an update just today.
ISO 22002-100:2025 Prerequisite programmes on food safety
Part 100: Requirements for the food, feed and packaging supply chain
https://www.iso.org/...dard/83536.html
The one applicable to our particular FSSC V6 (Category G) certification:
ISO 22002-5:2025 Prerequisite programmes on food safety
Part 5: Transport and storage
https://www.iso.org/...dard/83543.html
The first thing I'm wondering is if we now need both the above documents since the 100 document seems to kind of just be a clarification doc on PRPs for all industries. I'm going through both now and will edit this comment with an update later once I'm done. Thanks.
